advertisers cut down print and digital spends.  This resulted in a sharp fall of the stock.

Although revenues rose 1 percent to $449 million, this was much below analysts’ expectations of $479.23 million.  After adjusting severance costs and other onetime items, the adjusted earnings work out to a loss of one penny a share.  The Street had expected earnings of 8 cents a share.

The 7.4 percent rise in circulation revenue has proved to be the silver lining in an otherwise bleak scenario. According to Edward Atorino, an analyst with Benchmark Co, "It wasn't a nice quarter on revenue. The advertising numbers look terrible. I thought they might do a little better. They are caught up in the downslide like everybody else."

The stock tanked 18.50 percent to $8.68.
